the correct pgtable_t page (huge_pte_alloc()), holding the right

ppc64 do have runtime checks within CONFIG_DEBUG_VM for most of these.
Hence disable the test on ppc64.
Would really like this to get resolved in an uniform and better way
instead, i.e a modified hugetlb_advanced_tests() which works on all
platforms including ppc64.

In absence of a modified version, I do realize the situation here,
where DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE test either runs on ppc64 or just completely
remove hugetlb_advanced_tests() from other platforms as well.

In the worst case if we could not get a new hugetlb_advanced_tests() test
that works on all platforms, this might be the last fallback option. In
which case, it will require a proper comment section with a "FIXME: ",
explaining the current situation (and that #ifdef is temporary in nature)
and a hugetlb_advanced_tests() stub when CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64 is enabled.

#ifdef will not be required here as there would be a stub definition
for hugetlb_advanced_tests() when CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64 is enabled.
 
 	spin_lock(&mm->page_table_lock);
 	p4d_clear_tests(mm, p4dp);
But again, we should really try and avoid taking this path.
